Cuisine: Indian Keto
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon ghee or butter
Instructions
- Crack the 3 large eggs into a mixing bowl, ensuring no shell fragments are present.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly until they become smooth and slightly frothy, creating a uniform yellow color.
- Add finely chopped onions, bell peppers, green chili, and fresh coriander to the whisked eggs.
- Season the egg mixture with salt to taste, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat and add ghee or butter, allowing it to melt and coat the entire surface.
- Once the ghee is hot and slightly bubbling, gently pour the seasoned egg mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly.
- Cook the omelet for 3-4 minutes, allowing the bottom to set and develop a golden-brown color.
- Using a spatula, carefully lift the edges of the omelet to check for doneness and prevent burning.
- When the bottom is golden and the top is mostly set but still slightly wet, fold the omelet in half.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, flipping once to ensure even cooking and a light golden finish.
- Transfer the omelet to a serving plate, garnish with additional fresh coriander if desired.
- Let the omelet rest for 1 minute before serving to allow the internal temperature to stabilize.
Tips
- Use fresh, room-temperature eggs for the smoothest texture and most even cooking.
- Finely chop your vegetables to ensure even distribution and quick cooking.
- Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning and achieve a perfect golden-brown color.
- Don't overmix the eggs - whisk just until combined for a tender omelet.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet for easy flipping and release.
- For extra richness, use grass-fed ghee which adds authentic Indian flavor and keto-friendly fats.
- Let the omelet rest briefly after cooking to allow flavors to settle and make cutting easier.
- Experiment with additional low-carb spices like turmeric or cumin for extra depth of flavor.
